What have the artists said about the song?

Nas had this to say to XXL about the song:

Nas: At the time, getting a beat from Pete Rock was like getting a beat from Kanye West or Timbaland or fuckin’ Dr. Dre. I fought to get that [T La Rock] sample on there. Pete had a way of doing his beats, & he was Pete Rock, so I didn’t wanna interfere that much. But I had “It’s Yours” in my head, & I thought it would sound ill. At the last minute, he fit it in there, I think at the mix. I didn’t know how he was gonna fit it in there, but it was perfect how he did it.
